Have you been asking yourself the age-old questions:

"How can I grow as an artist?"And,

"How do I take my work to the next level?"

If you are, you're certainly not alone. Painting is about the pursuit of knowledge and this ultimately extends to knowing what is working in our paintings and what are the areas that need consideration, in order for that growth to occur.

Are you an artist who would benefit from honest, sensitive and constructive critiques of your work on an ongoing basis? If you are, Leading Edge Art Workshops would like to invite you to join our small group to take part in our regular monthly art critique sessions.

"Critique" can be a scary word for some. For this reason we're calling our sessions, "Take Your Work To The Next Level!" ... because this is what we aim to do.

Our group of 10 like-minded artists will take part in our "Take Your Work to the NextLevel!" critique group, which will be guided by a professional artist Bobbi Dunlop and offers genuine, sensitive and constructive feedback on your paintings.

You will receive positive feedback on what is working in your paintings, as well as constructive feedback to help you move forward and strengthen your work.

Consideration will be given to your chosen genre, as well as your personal intentions in your work.

Your peers will be eager to share in your inspiration and will be invited to take part, and in this, everyone will benefit and learn from each other.

The last session was so successful that we are expanding the meetings to 3 hour sessions, rather than 2 hours. Artists will meet monthly, from November - April and you are invited to bring 2-3 of your paintings for the group to review in each session.

This session will be led by artist, Bobbi Dunlop, who has extensive experience as a long-time professional artist as well as being a much in-demand instructor.

Group size is limited to 10 participants and we will meet once per month on a Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm as follows: November 3, December 1, January 5, February 2, March 9 and April 6. The cost is $200. for the six sessions, which is payable in advance. To register contact Louise Hall at 403 233 7389, louise.hall@shaw.ca or www.greatartworkshops.com.

This group is open to artists of all levels of accomplishment, and to all mediums. Come and join us for feedback, support, fun, and learning.

BOBBI DUNLOP is a full-time artist, has been teaching since 1994 and is much in demand as an instructor. She is an associate member of Oil Painters of America and Portrait Society of America. She has been exploring her passion for painting since she was a young girl and her unique inner vision, experience and life wisdom has culminated in an avenue for expressing her truest reactions on canvas.

I am so happy that our critique group is happening once again this year. I look forward to learning from all kinds of art, not only my own but the others as well. Bobbi is awesome and so informative lots of good advice and practice. Looking forward to seeing you in November. – Sandy

Session 1 of the critique get together was amazing. Lovely artists, constructive critiques, & Bobbie gave so much of her knowledge to the group at every session. I learned to trust myself more on where I wanted to grow, and moved from copying to creating which was a giant leap. 2 hrs.once a month was a great time investment. Sign me up for November. - Rhona

The critique group has allowed me to express myself in a number of ways, not only artistically but personally. It has given me an appreciation of other artist’s approach to their work. - Emily

I gained more confidence in myself as an artist and Bobbi's excellent feedback about color temperature really helped me to make my work more interesting. – Louise
